It shouldn't be too difficult to wrap the ATK API (another lib I just 
haven't got round to doing yet).  One issue is that when selecting a 
python type to use as the wrapper for a GObject, it goes up the 
inheritance tree til it finds a type with an associated python wrapper. 
This doesn't take interfaces into account.

So it is possible that some objects returned by ATK functions will be 
wrapped with the GObject wrapper (which doesn't include any of the 
interface mixins), so won't be usable.
